It's definitely not the start of a season

that I was hoping to have.

We've got a lot of gold to find.

Twenty nine year old Parker Schnabel

is locked in a battle

for a $200,000,000 fortune in gold.

But his opponent,

the Dominion Creek claim, is winning.

Dominion is a pain in the ass

because we're fighting a lot of frost.

We can't control the weather, nor can we control the ground.

Six weeks into the season,

he's found just 290 ounces.

So right now, basically, we have--

We don't have any wash plants running uh...

makes me nervous when we have no plants making money.

Two weeks ago, Parker made the call

to shut down his only running wash plant, Roxanne,

in the long cut,

when the permafrost made it too difficult to dig.

Now, after a warm stretch of weather,

the crew's on the brink of firing back up.

We've given this ground

a little bit of time to thaw out,

and it's looking a lot better here.

We've got some thaw.

We've also got ourselves a pay pile.

We've got a lot of work ahead of us,

but we're finally heading in the right direction.

In addition to the long cut,

Parker is hedging his bets,

and opening up ground in the bridge cut as well.

We also have the bridge cut.

There's a lot of waste still left in it.

And-- And frost.

The stripping crew is in there trying g to get it sorted out.

But by working both these cuts at the same time,

Parker now faces a new problem.

We can't start sluicing it,

and we're behind

because we've got a big project that's

like a really critical part of the process.

You have to get the water drained somehow.

So I've got people trying to lower a drain

that cranks the bridge cut with rocks in

so that the water should flow out of the cut.

So we will see

Before wash plant, Roxanne can fire up

and run pay from the long cut

Parker's crew need to dig the current ditch

fifteen feet deeper

from Roxanne's tailings pond

Two miles downstream

along the edge of the bridge cut

where his crew is stripping ground

that's already thawing into the ditch.

When Roxanne starts sluicing, the deeper ditch should cope

with the added water from the plant

and the meltwater from the bridge cut

If it's not deep enough,

the extra water will overwhelm the bridge cut,

flooding it and shutting it down.

We're swinging in tandem,

trying to get this ditch

lowered to the point where Roxanne can fire up.

And we'll be back to making money.

Plant boss Tyson Lee

and operator Kayden Potvin

are responsible for digging the drainage ditch deeper.

We've got a hell of a lot of material to get through here.

It'll be done someday.

What the

What the [bleep] is going on with this thing?

Something's wrong with the bucket.

This is about the worst time it could happen.

Hey, Kayden, you got a copy of Kayden?

Hey, man, what's going on?

I don't know what's up with this thing,

but I'm just gonna go park it and grab Jordan.

It does not seem to be running right.

Yeah, it seems pretty slow moving.

It sounds like [bleep] too.

You know, the 390 was pretty key to getting that ditch down.

It's got the long reach, it's got everything we need.

Hopefully Jordan can get her fixed up soon.

We're sure are in trouble here.

They say she's got no power.

Yeah, well, she's not running very good.

This thing's high RPM is 1700,

and it has to maintain that all the time.

It doesn't matter how much load you're putting on.

digging, swinging at the same time.

Is supposed to compensate the load

and keep this motor at 1700.

But this thing was dropping.

It's got no power,

so it's not pulling the bucket through the ground very well.

So I suspect it's got weak injectors,

so we'll have to put a set of injectors in it.

There's always a chance you're wrong.

And then you spend the money, it doesn't fix it.

But we get thrown the curveballs

and we got to deal with them.

The fuel injectors deliver diesel into the engine,

regulating how much fuel enters the combustion chamber.

Jordan suspects the 390 's injectors are worn out,

reducing the flow of fuel into the engine.

And power in the excavators bucket arm.

I'm just going to start doing the injectors here,

so I'm just taking this cover off.

So then...

So these are the old ones.

Jordan's simple fix install new

fuel injectors at a cost of $12,000.

There ain't nothing about this racket that's cheap.

Big iron, big money.

No other plants running, no money will be coming in.

And now we got to spend more money on this, so.

And I feel for them.

I feel for Parker.

When-- When sluicing it has to cease

for the wrong reasons, you know.

That's not good for any of us.

Let's close her up.

Well, let's see what she does.

Whoo haha!

She's pulling 1700 all day long.

I couldn't ask for more.

This thing is gonna wail dirt.

Thank you very much.

This thing runs awesome.

Whoo-hoo!

Tyson, you copy?

Go ahead.

Yeah, 390 is good to go.

Injectors are in. And it's running good, so.

Come, take her away. Put her to work.

- Thanks. - Roger. Dodger.

It feels really good to be back in the 390.

That's going to help us lower our ditch

and get to our goals.

Unlike Parker,

the king of the Klondike,

Tony Beets is on a winning streak.

Six weeks into the season,

he's hauled in over $3,000,000 in gold.

And is ready to do something he rarely does.

Take a break.

To capitalize on his hot start.

Tony wants to get two more wash plants

up and running this week.

The Indian River Shaker deck,

and his Paradise Hill trommel.

And he's looking to the next generation to make it happen.

Hey.

Oh, well.

It would be.

Yes.

Sounds like a plan.

Bye.

Tony has left his kids in charge in the past.

But not for this long,

and never without his oldest son

and chief mechanic, Kevin,

to fix any broken equipment.

Kevin's now running his own claim.

Filling in for him is cousin Mike.

Tony left,

and I want to show him that I can do the job.

So I'm on the way to Paradise Hill.

Me and Mike work well together,

so I'm looking forward to uh,

get this thing going.

And then after we'll get the Shaker deck going,

the more plans the better.

Hola, cousin.

Cousin.

- How's it going? - How's it going? Good.

I can imagine you guys are I'm pretty excited to start sluicing, right?

Well, we need to keep up

with you guys out in the Indian River.

Well, you better start going.

Today would be the best to head out, have a look.

We'll get the distributor on and get sluicing.

Sounds like a plan.

To get Tony's trommel running

for the first time this season,

the distributor box, which delivers

the gold rich material to the sluice,

needs to be reinstalled

after being removed for maintenance.

If it's not flat, we have to level it

because it's going to be a nightmare.

Let's go have a look.

Low-- a little bit lower.

Well, it doesn't need to be contact precise.

Because it's an inch and three notches.

Yeah, we don't care but one ends on three notches.

Uh, well, I think I'll have to bring up the back end, higher

What makes you think that?

Because the angle of it,

the sluice front is not sitting level anymore.

I think we should try to get this sucker as level as possible.

Mike thinks the 15-foot-long sluice runs have sunk.

Which would cause gold rich material

to flow to one side, clogging up the riffles.

Resulting in gold being lost.

Mike wants to use a 50-ton crane to lift them up.

Insert wooden blocks underneath.

Then lower the sluice runs back

down to the correct level.

The crew will then install

its 1.5 ton distributor box that feeds them.

Ready to fire up the trommels.

For the first time this season.

I think uh, this is wrong.

See, if you measure here. It's good.

No, it's too low.

This is all a waste of time.

I think we should put a distributor in place,

then I can go to the Indian river

and get the Shaker deck go

But this has got to come up, and then it lines up.

I'm not wrong. I [bleep] guarantee it

because otherwise you're [bleep] around later.

I think we want to get sluicing.

ASAP, as Tony would say.

Hi!

It was leveled last year,

that's why I'm saying we have to lift it up.

I'm done around.

Uh, it's not like I wanted to [bleep] around.

But you know how it goes.

Yeah.

That's what, that's also the thing.

You're getting frustrated.

So remember, when you're frustrated,

you start doing super mistakes.

I don't. I work very well when I'm frustrated.

Just like my uncle.

I'm done around with this.

I think it's bull

All right.

Let's-- Let's not do the things.

This is why I want to lift it up.

- Yeah. - Because it's gonna be more [bleep] around.

Then I'm gonna be doing another [bleep] around

more and more around

Stop [bleep] around do the job right?

Okay, we'll lift this thing up. Get it level.

Well, we got to get it done quick.

It's all slowing us down.

A real good assessment

is if you've got two people leading

and they've got different ideas

and they've got to figure it out.

Either which way it'd be nice to get sluicing here.

In my [bleep] opinion, those are two grown ass adults.

They can figure it out themselves.

We should be sluicing by now.

We've got one plant going,

but we could have had three plans going.

We should be sluicing by now.

We've got one plant going,

but we could have had three plans going.

I am letting Mike know if we're [bleep] around here,

then I will leave.

Then I'll go to my own plant.

If we want to make it to our 5000 ounce goal,

then we better hurry up and get some plants going.

At Paradise Hill,

Tony's gone on vacation for a week,

leaving his kids and cousin Mike in charge.

He's frustrated because he has other he wants to do.

I get that.

I want to get this done, too.

But now he's being obstinate with his frustration.

That pissed me off.

Hook it around the two centerpieces around there

so that we have an even lift.

It should slightly level itself as I lift it,

and then all we have to do is put blocks underneath it.

Watch your finger's?

That's good enough for Tony Beets.

Put the blocks on there.

Okay. All good?

We'll go with that.

That's good.

Okay, now we're putting the distributor on.

Yeah, we're gonna hook up the distributor box

and then lift it in place

and then see if it all lines up.

If that works out, we're in business.

Okay. Stay clear. Have them lifted up.

Mike carefully cranes in

the 1.5-ton sluice distributor.

In between the trommel and the sluice runs.

Slowly down, like, very slowly,

Everything needs to line up perfectly

from the trommel to the distributor,

to the sluices.

So that no washed a pay dirt leaks out

and loses gold.

This thing only has one speed.

So keep fingers out of the way. Just in case.

Fingers out of the way, guys.

We're all clear.

It's a tight fit, which might be a good thing.

It takes a bit of brute force,

but as long as we get her.

So we've got to move the whole suit

a little bit to the left for the lineup.

I'm happy with that.

It seems to line up.

So it's in place.

I think we should check the level on the distributor.

Okay.

Well, that worked well.

Washing gold ain't gonna work too well.

if most of it ends up on the ground underneath it.

This is what happens when you force her.

We're doing a lot of [bleep] bending around.

It puts me behind

because I could also be working on a shaker deck.

Well, go to the Indian, go do that,

and then I'll do the rest myself.

Whatever. I don't care at this point.

So I'm gonna have to get this [bleep] thing

completely shifted and re-welded.

Getting this installed right as fast as possible

is a must because I want to get sluicing.

I may as well go and work on my own plant, right?

So I did what I have to do.

He can figure it out from here.

Me and Mike. We didn't quite agree on everything

when there's two persons in charge

and they each have their own opinion

and there's no decision made.

Then I think it's time for one to leave.

In the bridge cut there's a massive amount

of ditching that needs to get done.

We've been setback, so.

Finding as much gold as we can is the goal.

With the gold on Dominion Creek uncertain,

Parker's looking to some ground

he knows very well to save him.

Ken and Stuart has always been

a pretty decent moneymaker for us,

but it's very cheap to mine.

Damien knows how to keep things cheap.

And he was very good at just kind of being left alone.

Ten miles southwest

at Ken Tatlow and Stuart Schmidt's ground

Over the years,

Parker has pulled out $14,000,000 in gold.

But now, on a tight budget,

and no crew to spare.

Parker sent mining veteran

Damien Browne on a solo mission.

The plan is to get this all stripped down to pay

and get this sluiced out.

Our percentile was going to get zero resources

when I was coming down here at Ken's.

I mean, I literally got zero resources,

but I expected a little bit more.

Parker's charged Damien with opening an eight acre cut

and wants the final three acres

of overburden removed by the end of the week.

Damien's working double duty,

he rips overburden in the dozer and piles it up.

Then jumps into an excavator

and feeds the waste onto a conveyor

that carries it out of the cut to a waste pile.

The conveyor,

it's so bloody efficient.

Every bedrock has gone straight out of it.

Parker must have some trust in me

to leave me down here by myself.

Originally, I came up with my wife to the Yukon,

and both of us were working here at Parkers.

We had a baby a few years ago,

and she obviously can't work now,

so it's a lot different being up here by myself.

So in the winter times,

I generally just go back to Ireland

and spend it with my family and farm and enjoy it.

My aim is to get my own ground and mine it someday.

When you see raw gold

right in front of you, it's an incredible feeling.

What the is going on?

What [bleep] going on.

The feeder hoppers out stopping

this shaft should be rotating.

There's a drive motor on the other side,

Um, it's not rotating at the minute.

Bill if you got a copy, Bill?

Go for Bill.

Hey, Bill, is there any chance you could come down here at Ken and Stuart's?

Um, this conveyor is after stopping.

I can't seem to find out what's wrong with it.

I'm gonna have to say no.

We are swamped here at Dominion.

It'll be probably tomorrow before I can get down there.

Okay. Ten, four if you uh, yeah sure.

If you can come down as soon as you can. That would be great.

I mean, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I'm just gonna have to jump on a bloody rock truck and start self-loading.

Damien has no choice

but to truck the overburden out of the cut.

It's going super bloody slow here by myself.

But we'll have to just keep going until the conveyor gets going.

One of these days hopefully I might

get a little bit more help--

What the

Something doesn't feel right.

Uh, for [bleep] sake.

That's just what I need.

Thats all my plans now.

I have no people. There's nobody around.

All I have is one truck and a hoe to self-load

all this material out.

You can't move the rock truck the way it is.

The conveyor is down.

I can do nothing.

I have to go get Bill. And try and get some help.

I'm at a complete standstill.

We need to get everything up and running.

At Ken and Stuart's

Parkers tasked Damien

with stripping three acres by the end of the week.

But 24 hours in,

Damien's conveyor is still broken.

His truck's tire is still flat.

And there's still no help.

He needs a miracle.

Do you know anybody looking for a rock truck tire.

Or two mechanics.

And cavalry has arrived.

Holy [bleep] I never thought I'd see today.

Whoo!

Good morning, my friend.

Thank you, Bill.

Liam, we're not jacking this.

Let's just put the forks in here.

Just pick the machine up,

put a stand under it, and way we go.

Absolutely.

To remove the flat tire.

Mechanics Bill Horton and Liam Pukila

first need to raise the 45-ton

rock truck off the ground.

I want to really make sure I get under this, so.

Careful, Bill. It's slipping off this side.

Just stop.

I don't really like that. It's not going to be safe.

Have you got a shackle that we can put on the front?

and I can lift it with the excavator.

And we can have that as a support.

Absolutely. Let's do that.

That's a good call.

There we go.

Perfect. Little more, Damien.

Good.

There we go.

We got it.

So, just want to make this as safe as possible.

We got it.

Let's get these wheel nuts off and get this tire off.

Yeah.

You can go around that shaft, I don't think you're gonna hurt it.

Okay, Liam, back up a touch.

Good job, boys.

It's off.

So now it's just a case of getting this everyone on and secured.

Whoa, whoa, Yeah,

Down a little bit, Liam.

It should be all lined up now.

- It should be - Okay.

Look at that, Damien.

Nice job, buddy.

Good to go.

Thank you, Bill. Thank you, Liam.

There's so much dirt to move ahead of me.

So now I'm just gonna get back self-loading

here now and get down the bay.

Now, Bill and Liam turned their attention

to Damien's conveyor.

I've got to figure out what's going on here.

Well, I'm thinking--

thinking it might be this cupl-- Oh, yeah.

Coupler is split.

So must have been too much torque on the chain.

We'll have to get this coupler out.

Okay, so...

Wow.

That's supposed to be a circle.

You see how it's splitted.

So now I got the other half to take out.

Oh, yeah, so you can see here.

It sheared the bolts off two of them.

Split this piece of collar, so-- So that's no good.

The conveyors, coupler and collar,

which helps rotate the drive shaft,

and move the belt is broken.

It needs replacing.

This is our new coupler.

So we're gonna fire this in there.

Fits there nice.

Look at that.

Do you want to tighten these bolts for me?

All right. We're good to go.

Damien?

We're ready to fire this thing up.

All right, Damien, you're on

Okay, let's do it.

There it is.

Couplers doing its job the way it's supposed to.

This thing's ready to go to work.

Thank you. I can't explain

how much I am so grateful for this.

Thank you so much.

With both fixes completed,

Damien can now speed up stripping overburden

and get Parker

back on the gold.

It's amazing. It's incredible.

There's no time to wait.

So yeah, the sooner we can get it off,

the sooner we get to pay and start sluicing, get money.

This plant has been down for quite a while now

because we have moved the wash plant.

There was some damages

while we moved

the conveyor belt and the feeder around.

I welded those and put the rest of the shaker deck together.

But we're ready.

I hope she does the job, but we will only find out

when there's dirt in there and when she's running.

At Tony Beets' Indian River claim,

Cousin Mike is back,

trying to get the shaker deck ready to fire up.

Tony wants it running alongside Sluice-A-Lot

in the comeback cut

by the time he returns from vacation

in two days' time.

Okay, let's fire this plant up.

Good?

- Yeah. - Open it up.

No, that's good.

Seems to be running good now.

The dirt is sliding into the shaker deck, so that's good.

Yeah, absolutely.

I think Tony will be pretty happy

that we have another plant up and going.

Yeah, for sure.

Hope we see some gold in the box.

Sluice-A-Lot and the shaker deck

are now both catching gold.

But Tony asked for three plants

to be running by his return.

And 40 miles north,

at Paradise Hill,

Mike's struggling to fire up the trommel.

I really, really want to get sluicing

before my dad shows back up.

It is my goal, and I will work damn hard to get it done.

But we'll do that after we get the chute in line

and ready to go.

There's a gap between the chutes

that connect the sluice box's distributor

with the trommel.

Yeah. Be very careful.

- Hello, Len. - What's going on, Mike?

Uh...

Well, we're putting the distributor back in.

My cousin Mike jammed it in there,

but he was frustrated, 'cause he has his own projects he wants to get done.

But as you can see, the chute don't line up.

So we have to re-line the chute a little bit

and do a lot of welding so that lines up.

All right. Let's see how it goes.

Can you take that chain, wrap it around closer on to the front here?

Okay, that's good.

Now lift up slowly.

Make sure there's no bulk underneath that one,

because it's got to come down a couple inches.

Okay, bring those 2x4s over here.

- Is it all the way across? - Yeah, it's across.

Let her down.

Okay.

Take them off.

Okay.

Now I just need my welder to fabricate, and it'll be all good.

Everything's going good.

Distributor's on.

Runs are put in place.

The next step

is getting the pump going,

and we should be able to sluice.

We're making progress.

Mike heads to the pump, which feeds water

from the Hunker Creek to the trommel

and washes the pay dirt.

For now, we just want to get it running.

So let's just start this [bleep].

But before he starts sluicing,

he needs to power up the pump's engine.

Ooh, that's not a good sign.

Yeah, not enough juice.

I was hoping she'd [bleep] catch, but she's just struggling.

Yeah, we're stopping there.

I think the battery's dead.

this.

I'm sick and tired of constant delays.

I just want to get sluicing.

Now the plant is running. It's looking good.

That always gives me a good feeling.

At the comeback cut in Indian River,

Cousin Mike's shaker deck

is running alongside Sluice-A-Lot,

keeping Tony's 5,000-ounce goal

on track.

That's Tony.

Going all right. We're finally washing rocks.

Yeah.

Uh, hooking this up to my...

pump

to give it a boost.

And once this is done,

I am close to getting sluicing.

At Paradise Hill,

son Mike is still troubleshooting

the trommel's broken water pump

and still isn't sluicing.

Let's see what happens.

Mike. Do you copy, Mike?

Yep.

Hey, Tony's back.

Ah, [bleep].

I'll be there in about five minutes.

I'm gonna go see my dad.

This is really pissing me off.

I keep running into small [bleep] problems.

Hey.

I'll just show you.

Uh...

Well...

So...

I, uh...

We got the distributor in place. The sluice box re-leveled.

We got our chute re-welded.

Uh, no, because, frankly...

I'm having a lot of issues with the pump.

[bleep]!

Nothing going right these days.

Whoa.

The Grand Canyon.

They're done digging my ditch.

This is looking good.

They've done an amazing job.

But at the end of the day,

we're in a big rush.

We're behind, and we're gonna

see if we can get some gold coming in.

After a week's worth of digging,

Parker's two-mile-long,

34-foot-deep mega-ditch

is done.

Well, right now, we are ready to get Roxanne back rolling.

And it feels so good here

to be sending water back down our ditch.

And I see Parker's pulling in right now,

so I think he's gonna be pretty excited to see this plant running.

Hey, man, how's it going?

What's up, man?

We got a big old pile of pay dirt.

What do we think we get these belts spinning and get after it?

- Thanks, Mitch. - All right.

We are ready to sluice. We got a mountain of pay.

Let's get it.

Turn some water on.

All right, all right. Let's do it.

Well, we are finally fired back up.

This is the first scoop going back in

after this long shutdown here.

It feels like the season is really about to start.

We have a big

pile of pay.

It feels like this is it.

Now we got the sun shining.

It's warm.

This is sluicing weather. Let's get it.

With Roxanne sluicing...

time to check if the ditch can

cope with the extra water.

The ditch seems to be working.

The water is flowing downstream.

Yeah, it's nice to

finally see some water flowing down this ditch.

Man, that was a long time to have a wash plant shut down.

Yeah, we're late to the game here.

So what do you say we try and keep her running

until we pack our bags and go home?

Man, I think that's what we need to do here.

You know, Parker wants 10,000 ounces.

That's gonna require a lot of sluicing.

Let's do it.

... That's the end of the day.

It's quite tough being here on your own all the time,

but it's one part of the day I really enjoy, is coming

down here to the water

and just enjoying a nice cup of tea.

I mean, it sucks that I don't have any help,

but it's just so peaceful down here.

A cup of tea.

Cheers.

There really is nothing like a bit of peace and quiet.

After a week,

Damien is nearing the end of his stripping operation

at Ken and Stuart's.

- What's up, man? - Howdy, buddy.

How are you?

- I'm bloody good. - Good.

God, you've moved a lot of dirt by yourself, Damien.

- Yeah. - It's pretty impressive.

Getting pretty tired. - I bet.

I bet.

How are you feeling about it all?

Feeling pretty positive.

For all I know, this has been

incredibly frustrating for you, and you don't want to...

- Eh. - ...do it anymore.

Eh.

I don't have a ticket booked yet, but it crossed my mind.

I just don't want you and I to have a falling out

over any of this, and I know that

there's the potential for that because of the lack of support you've gotten.

I got Bill and Liam down here the other day

when I needed help, and that's what matters.

It really is impressive.

All right, Damien. Thanks, man.

- Hey, hey. - How's it going?

- Pretty good. How are you guys? - What's up?

Not much. You, man?

- Just living the dream. - Oh, yeah.

Nearly a third of the way through the season,

and only one plant running,

Parker's crew have banked just

290 ounces.

So how was your boys' week?

Yeah, it was rough. Then Damien there, he had a pretty rough week, too.

Conveyor went down,

gets a flat tire.

Everybody's busy up here. It's like, "Sorry."

I told him when he went down there,

like, "You're not gonna get any support."

I even underestimated myself in that sense...

...of what that meant.

Sorry for the delay on Roxanne.

- Did we find any gold? - Well, we did.

After two days' run time,

Parker is hoping the long cut will deliver

at least 100 ounces.

All right, here we go.

10, 20,

30,

40, 50,

60,

76.35.

[bleep].

Worth $190,000.

It gives us a season total of 364 and a half ounces.

- We did that in a clean-up. - Yeah, I was just gonna say,

that's a [bleep] clean-up.

All right. Well, that sucks.

Eventually that ground has got to give up.

It doesn't have to do anything.

If we want to come back next year,

it's got to. Something's got to happen.

I think it's weeks like this

that definitely make you appreciate the good ones.

Yeah. Yeah.

Let's just hope it's the week and not the season.

Yeah.

Well, do what you guys can do, fellas, and I'll clean it.

- All right. Later. - See you, fellas.

Thanks, Chris. You're all good with that?

Yep, I'm all good. Thanks, young man.

Hey, guys.

Hi.

So, how was your guys' holiday?

Excellent. It was really nice.

So, how did you do on the hill?

Uh...

Me and Mike leveled the box, got the distributor in.

I got my guys to hook up the chutes.

Then going down to the pump,

it wouldn't start.

So, in other words,

you didn't sluice?

No, not yet.

Well, there's always something, it seems.

Yeah, I was there. It took a little bit longer

than we hoped.

Ran into a bunch of issues.

I watched you guys...

not talk to each other in the sluice box.

And then I went...

"Not my children."

I know how frustrating it is when you want to get to your project

- but you have to help somebody else with theirs. - Yeah.

I like hanging out with Mike,

and I like getting done with Mike,

but he wanted to do his [bleep]. It was time for him to go.

It's good. So, we got a little bit of gold,

at least, out of that plant.

Yep.

Cousin Mike is now washing dirt

with two plants at Indian River.

I would like it if you guys could weigh up some stuff.

To reach his 5,000-ounce goal,

Tony needs to average 230 ounces a week.

First up, the shaker deck,

which ran for two days.

Let's see how it did.

Okay. 5,

10, 15,

50, 55,

65, 70,

79.85.

Worth almost $200,000.

Nope.

It is a worthy effort.

Next,

Sluice-A-Lot,

which ran all week.

Ready?

10, 30, 50,

70,

80, 90, 100,

150,

180, 190, 200...

276.45.

Worth over $690,000,

bringing Tony's season total

to 1,607 ounces.

Nope. I could have a couple weeks like that.

Yeah. And then Mike gets his trommel going.

- Can see some real gold happening soon. - Yeah.

We'll see. Last thing you want to do is count the silverites.

- Can I go? - Si.

All right.

Pitter-patter, let's get at 'er. No, that one's mine.
